what you are trying to say is that you have been convinced that there is some magical reason that your car looks 'wrong' by those who just want to sell you something you dont really need....but they make you think you do

spacers are a bad idea, in general...and at 3mm you wouldnt be able to tell the difference...waste of time

There will be no difference with the 3mm spacers. The 5's don't even show anything unless you already are close to the fenders. I could notice a 8mm-10mm by eye for sure. Most people run 15-25mm spacers on stock BBS wheels to push them out. There has been a few dozen people that have done so. You would need to roll your fenders if you decide to push your wheels out more.

He is already close to the fender and slammed on coilovers- I think a 5mm might put him right where he wants to be.

and trading and 8 for a 7.5 made the car drive much better so i didnt think it was an idiot move.

i was just asking for advice not for smart and rude remarks from a know it all.

get a life.

LOL- I agree here Tom- my car drove much better on those 7.5s. I'm tramlining all over the road on these wheels too wide for my wagon and setup- but these look better on my car and those look better on yours.

I've been debating doing this myself with 04 BBS on a 02 WRX, and I measured out that 10-15mm should be pretty good. If you are the hella flush type, then 20 might be good, but I have a feeling that it would be terrible for your wheel bearings.
